Chapter 974

"OK, I said, but you have to tell me first, are you a man or a demon?"

The bandit leader was also a little timid. Although it hurt, he bit his teeth and endured it. The sweat on his forehead came out. He actually had the heart to bargain with Gu Zheng. Instead of answering Gu Zheng's question, he asked another one.

"Yes, at least you didn't come up and say I'm a monster. I'm much stronger than those people, but your eyesight is really bad. Is there a monster like me?"

Gu Zheng appreciated him a little. When he saw his ability, he didn't treat him as a monster like the villagers in the previous big market. At least he didn't purely treat him as a monster. He also asked whether he was a human or a demon.

"It's good to be human, so you're an immortal?" the bandit leader breathed a long breath and was still asking.

"It can be said that I am an immortal and have not reached the realm of immortals!"

Gu Zheng nodded. He was not far from the celestial realm. He couldn't call himself an immortal until he reached the celestial realm, but he really used immortal power, so he could barely be an immortal.

"My name is Maduo. I was originally from the horse village five hundred miles away. There are few people in our village. There are only more than 30 families with a population of less than 200. Seven years ago, our village suffered a catastrophe. A group of monsters attacked our village and captured many people. I escaped with the three people in the village and wandered around. Life was very difficult!"

The bandit leader finally talked about his situation. He was also a hard-working man. The village was attacked by monsters. There were only four people left in the whole village. They depended on each other, but life was not easy. Wherever he went, he worked more, ate less and was often bullied.

Once I worked as a helper for others in a village. Because I failed to finish the work on time, I not only had no food, but also was beaten by the owner's family and kicked out. One of them was hungry and beaten. After leaving, he became seriously ill, failed to resist and died.

The bandit leader, Maduo, was too angry at that time. In a rage, he took the remaining two people and killed the master's family. All 13 members of the master's family were killed by three of them. Maduo was a smart man. Although he wanted to avenge, he was not reckless. He knew that there was a poisonous herb. Although it could not kill people, it would make people vomit powerless. He pretended to repent in advance, Want to go back to work, and later only eat half of the meal, do the same work, let the owner take in the three of them again.

In the evening, he secretly put the venom from the poisonous grass into the water of his master's house. After eating, all the people of the second God's house vomited and felt sick and weak. He took the remaining two people to find out the knives and sharp objects in his house, killed all 13 people in his family, and left no children.

After committing such evil deeds, he was thinking that it was impossible to work part-time for others. He simply became a bandit with his two brothers. Over the years, some forces have developed. Now there are more than 30 people, most of whom are hard-working people who can't live.

There are only about twenty of them, and more than a dozen weak women are waiting in their nest. The old man is not. No old man can live to them and has long died.

Although he became a bandit, he still lived a lot. He robbed passers-by occasionally, but he got too little. These days, most of the people walking here are poor people, who have no money at all. They don't have the strength to fight the village. Ma Duo is really smart, so he thought of threatening.

Prepare more torches, go out at night, deliberately frighten people, and then let the people in the village take out food for them. They left. In this way, they successfully robbed three villages and harvested a lot of food. This is the fourth one. I didn't expect to plant it here.

"I've finished. I know we do a lot of evil. If we want to kill, we have to cut at will, but they haven't killed anyone since they followed me. We only rob passers-by without killing them. Since you are an immortal, can you let them go?"

Maduo finished and looked straight at Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng didn't expect that he was still a man. Finally, he pleaded for his men.

However, what he said, Gu Zheng believes that these people should not have killed anyone, and they don't look so cruel. Gu Zheng is not ordinary people, and they can't deceive Gu Zheng.

It's not easy for Maduo to say what he can do to let his men go at this time.

"It's reasonable to say that you killed 13 people in their family. Although there was a reason, the children didn't let go. It's really too much!"

Gu Zheng sighed. He didn't object to revenge and murder. He also did it, but for the old and weak who have no strength to bind the chicken, he never went down. It's a little unacceptable.

"I know, but the child's eyes at me are full of hatred. I don't kill him. I'll be killed by him sooner or later. I'll just be alone. I still have brothers and may have family in the future. I have to kill him. I don't regret it!"

Ma duo nodded his head. Gu Zheng was surprised again. Unexpectedly, this man also knew that it was not just killing because he was fond of killing.

"Well, since evil deeds are unforgivable, I will walk on behalf of heaven today!"

Gu Zheng held out his hand, while Maduo closed his eyes. He knew that he was not Gu Zheng's opponent at all. Now he just wanted to die and die safely, which was also a good thing for him.

Gu Zheng suddenly clapped his hands forward. Maduo's body flew out fiercely. Then Gu Zheng pulled his body back, but his whole body had softened and his head hung there.

"Big brother!"

Several people behind him shouted, with pain on their faces. It can be seen that his prestige among these people is not small, and everyone respects him very much.

A faint figure emerged from Maduo. It was Maduo's soul. At this time, Maduo was already a ghost, but others could not see it. Only Gu Zheng could see it, and he also saw Gu Zheng.

After death, the soul will enter the reincarnation of the underworld. The underworld is a separate boundary, not in the famine.

However, the underworld of the meeting should not have really taken shape. At least the Tibetan king Bodhisattva and the king of hell in the ten halls are not there. As for what the underworld looks like, the ancient dispute is not clear at all.

The ancient dispute is right. The underground is really chaotic at present. In short, similar to the warlord era, many ghost kings occupy the mountains and become one force. Disobedient gangsters are destroyed or eaten by them. There are also fights among several major forces, but there are no particularly strong experts. The environment of the underground is too poor and there are too few resources, Moreover, the ghost cultivation is naturally incomplete. There are few strong people in the realm of Da Luo Jinxian, let alone quasi saints.

If not, in the future, it will not be occupied by dizang and open the ten halls of hell.

At this time, Gu Zheng can arrest a soul. Even if he is not an immortal, it is not difficult to prevent a soul from entering the underworld.

"Am I dead? You, you are an immortal. I didn't expect you to control even fooling around!"

Maduo said bitterly. To be exact, Maduo's ghost said that he had seen the dead himself and the ancient struggle that was watching him.

"You're right. I can control ghosts, so it's useless to die in my hands. Since I can let you die, I can also let you live. Do you want to die or live?"

Gu Zheng said to Maduo's ghost. Maduo was stunned first and then nodded wildly: "Daxian, I want to live, of course I want to live!"

"You can live if you want, but you should remember, don't mess with people's lives in the future. I can let you live and naturally let you die. When you die next time, it won't be so easy. I'll prepare an oil pan and fry you every day, so that you can bear the pain of frying every day!"

Gu Zheng said to Maduo that the ghost of Maduo could not help shivering. Now there is no punishment of oil pan in the underground, but he will think about what it looks like to fall into the oil pan and be fried. The most important thing is that this is not once, but every day. It is 10000 times worse than death.

"Yes, yes, I understand. I will never hurt people again. I only have that once. It's really that the family went too far and killed my brother that makes me so!"

Maduo nodded quickly, while Gu Zheng was not talking. He stretched out his fingers and gently pointed at Maduo's ghost. His transparent body immediately returned to his body.

Ghosts can't stay in the sun. Fortunately, it's night. If the sun shines during the day, Maduo's ghost will be scared and have no time to talk to him.

When the soul entered the body, Gu Zheng ordered a few more times on Maduo. Maduo coughed fiercely, coughed up a big mouthful of blood, and then climbed up hard.

When Gu Zheng saved him, he had reset his arms and moved his legs.

Maduo died once and accepted the punishment. Now Maduo is not Maduo before, but Maduo after rebirth. Maduo feels good in ancient struggle. If he uses it well, he can help him in the future. Now he has only one Wu you around him, and there are still a few people.

What's more, he is a bandit with a bottom line. He didn't kill anyone. He just cheated some food for survival. He didn't commit a crime until he died. Gu Zheng didn't plan to kill all these people, so naturally he wouldn't kill him.

"Take them all back and wait for me in the east of the village tomorrow!"

Gu Zheng gave orders to Maduo, and then walked back. He didn't help reset these people's arms, but dislocations also happen occasionally at this time. Many people know that people who understand can reset themselves, and those who don't understand can find someone to help.

Anyway, these people are bandits, and it is necessary to punish them.

At the entrance of the village, many people are still talking about it. After Gu Zheng went out for a child, everyone was worried about him, but what happened later made them confused. First, they heard two people scream, and many people became more, but they were far away from each other, so they couldn't hear what the noise was over there.

They were also worried that the bandits did it on purpose. They didn't dare to go over and see. The owner of the family where Gu Zheng lived was a little anxious. He just saw Wu you that they were not in a hurry. Later, they had to give up. It wasn't his child. Since their adults were not in a hurry, he didn't have the reason to worry.

"Someone, someone!"

The people at the entrance of the village shouted quickly. After a while, they saw Gu Zheng coming from the dark. How did he go and how did he come back.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was all right, many people's eyes almost fell off.

"The bandits have realized their mistakes, have left, and will not come in the future. Don't worry!"

Gu Zheng grinned and said to the people in the village. Regardless of their reaction, he went to hold Tao's small hand and walked to the village together. Wu you and aunt Cui followed closely.

The villagers at the entrance of the village stared, and then they saw that many torches on the opposite side were extinguished, and the rest were far away. After those light spots turned a corner, they could no longer see them.

Several brave villagers ran to have a look and found that the bandits were indeed gone. Everyone was relieved. After searching, they left the villagers on duty, and the others went back to rest.

Early the next morning, in the awe of the family, Gu Zheng left. The family also specially returned the animal skin given to them by Wu you. They said they didn't want anything. They said they thanked them for saving the whole village yesterday.

Even a fool knows that the child didn't go out to play yesterday, but taught the bandits a lesson and drove them away. They don't know what method Gu Zheng used, but as long as they know they saved them.

It's impossible for a life-saving benefactor to take other people's things.

Several times later, seeing that the family insisted, Gu Zheng gave up, but secretly asked Wu you to release them back after leaving, and then left the village. They didn't want it, but Gu Zheng didn't even want to go back. Just give it to them in another way.

Five miles away from the east entrance of the village, when Gu Zheng arrived, Maduo was waiting there. Gu Zheng believed that he didn't dare to run, especially after he knew his ability.

But Gu Zheng didn't expect that more than one Maduo and more than 30 people came. The whole bandit nest came, including seven women, three children and 27 adult men.

Thirty seven people are all members of the bandit nest. Yesterday, they dispatched 22 people, and the remaining five stayed in the nest.

"How did you bring them all!"

Gu Zheng frowned and asked the horse more. All he wanted was one more horse, not so many people. So many people were useless to him and would drag him down.

"Daxian, if they don't become bandits, they can only starve to death, but you have explained that they can't become bandits. There's no way for them to follow me out. Daxian, you must have a way to help them. They are very capable. As long as you give them something to eat, they won't die of hunger!"

Maduoputong knelt down and begged. He was right about one thing. These people would starve to death if they didn't become bandits.

They can also hunt, but hunting is not easy and risky, and there is no guarantee of harvest. Moreover, they are not people who can hunt. No one knows how to make traps. Maduo knows a little, but not much. They have tried before, but they failed to catch the prey, and two people died. One of them was the first one to run out with Maduo, Since then, they dare not hunt at will.

Maduo knelt, and all the bandits knelt down and begged Gu Zheng.

"Xiaotie, they are also poor people. Why don't you follow us back to the village?"

Aunt Cui came over and whispered that Huiyuan village suffered a great loss five years ago. Most of the powerful people in the village lost more than half. Although they all have yellow faces and muscles, there are more than 20 adult men. As long as they don't do evil and live there, they can supplement Huiyuan Village.

Aunt Cui is still from the village after all, thinking about her village.

After going back yesterday, Gu Zheng briefly told them about the bandits and let them know that these bandits are also miserable people. They don't really want to be bandits to harm people.

"Well, then take them with you!"

After thinking about it, Gu Zheng nodded quickly and took them to Huiyuan village to settle down, so that they would have a place to stay and would not starve to death. When he turned back, he said in Huiyuan village and asked the people there not to bully them.

The great loss of Huiyuan village five years ago has not recovered now. These people will only enrich their strength. They should not be silly to bully them. Just in case, Gu Zhengcai plans to talk about it.

Seeing that Gu Zheng promised to take them away, the bandits were very happy. They all stood up and walked slowly behind their carriage.

These people walk very slowly. After all, they don't have enough food and have little strength. It's good to be able to walk.

"Wu you, light a fire. I'll get something and let them fill their stomachs first!"

Gu Zheng told Wu you to light a pot and cook the grain and dried meat on the carriage. He went to find out if there was anything he could catch to eat.

Wu you quickly cooked a pot of meat porridge. The smell made the bandits and their families swallow saliva. After cooking, Wu you asked them to eat with bowls. If they didn't have bowls, they took out their wooden bowls.

These wooden bowls are also made in ancient times, but the quantity is not much. If there is no one, just wait until others finish eating.

They had just finished a pot. When Wu you and aunt Cui continued to do it, Gu Zheng came back with a big porcupine and a bison behind him. Gu Zheng's thin body dragged such two big prey, which looked very disharmonious.

"Don't be silly. Go help. Those who have eaten hurry and help the host bring back the things!"

Wu you yelled. Maduo immediately got up and ran over with more than a dozen people. The others ate. Maduo hasn't eaten yet. After all, the pot is so big that it's not enough for more than 30 people to eat. He can only cook separately.

Seeing these two prey, Maduo also smacked his tongue secretly. Porcupine and bison add up to at least more than 1000 kg. It doesn't matter how Gu Zheng killed these two prey and dragged the two big guys back. Anyway, he can't do it.

However, he was relieved at the thought of Gu Zheng's identity. This is an immortal. Let alone drag two, twenty can also drag back. In the eyes of ordinary people, an immortal is an omnipotent person who calls the wind and rain, moves mountains and seas.

With the help of Maduo and them, Gu Zheng doesn't have to drag them. More than a dozen of them can still drag these two big things back together. With these two prey, the meat on them can eat for at least a few days.

These days, I have to find a place where there are people and change more food. In the past, a little was enough. There are few of them. Now, with these people, there are more than 40 people. I can't do without much preparation.

How to take Gu Zheng? This time, they don't worry. When they are full, everyone will carry some on their backs except the children, and put some on the carriage, which can always be put down. However, if they have the opportunity, Gu Zheng will still try to get some carriages, so that those children and women can ride on the carriage.
